583. EHR Review: Practice Better

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. Watch the YouTube video here. In this episode, I conduct a comprehensive, hands-on review of the Practice Better EHR platform, examining its capabilities for both wellness professionals and mental health practitioners. I walk through the user experience from initial registration and onboarding to client creation, service configuration, calendar scheduling, and insurance claim generation. Throughout the live walkthrough, I evaluate the system’s extensive customization options, automated scheduling rules, and native reporting tools while highlighting critical user interface friction points and workflow segmentations that impact a psychological testing practice. Ultimately, I provide an objective assessment of where Practice Better shines, where it stumbles, and whether it stands as a viable software contender for solo and group practice owners. ### **Main Topics Discussed** - 00:00: Initial Registration, Account Setup, and Onboarding Wizard Experience - 01:52: Client Intake Profiles, Custom Data Entry, and Manual Saving Controls - 07:13: Navigating Onboarding Guides, Administrative Access Controls, and Team Settings - 09:13: Managed Billing Configurations, Payment Processing, and Claim MD Clearinghouse Integration - 10:52: Practice Branding Personalization, Document Templates, and Customized PDF Design Options - 12:37: Designing Online Team Booking Pages, Workflow Redirects, and Calendar Sync Constraints - 19:36: Customizing Dashboard Widgets, Analytics Reports, and Booking Rules - 31:48: Adding Custom Services, Locating Floating Action Buttons, and Mapping CPT and Diagnosis Codes - 38:58: Clinical Note Writing, Session Record Autosaving, and CMS 1500 Insurance Claim Processing Workflows - 46:38: Comprehensive Synthesis of Platform Pros, Cons, Usability Flaws, and Tiered Subscription Pricing **Cool Things Mentioned** - Craft: the premier membership community for testing psychologists - Crafted Practice: the only in-person business retreat for testing psychologists - Reverb: the premier AI-powered report-writing platform for testing psychologists - Practice Better: www.practicebetter.io - Claim MD: www.claim.md - Zoom Video Communications: www.zoom.com - Circle Community Platform: www.circle.so - The Testing Psychologist YouTube Channel: The Testing Psychologist – YouTube **Featured Resources** TherapyNotes is the leading EHR system for mental health practitioners.
